Apology

I love being clever and funny, except
when someone I like doesn’t think its funny.

“What makes shit such a universal joke is that
it’s an unmistakeable reminder of our duality,
of our soiled nature and of our will to glory.
It is the ultimate lèse-majesté.”

Quotation from John Berger, Muck and Its Entanglements

    I know exactly what you’re talking about. I also enjoy making lots of jokes. But sometimes I go too far and end up hurting people’s feelings.

    Well, at least what you’re expressing right now shows that you’re a human being and not some psychopath. It’ll get better. They’ll understand that you didn’t mean what you said.

    Oh, how I hate this feeling! I suffer with it way too frequently lately.

    I know what you mean! I hate when that happens, it’s terrible because when we do that we have no intention of hurting anyone’s feelings! Right?

    I felt myself cringing just reading this… yep, quite the horrible feeling. :-(

    Yes horrible feeling, I agree… And what about apologies? I hate to do that, luckily I’ve learned how to…

    I know exactly what you mean. Like when something’s so funny, you wanna share it with ppl and they just. don’t. get. it.

    FRUSTRATING!

    I spend so much time apologizing for stuff I thought was funny but turned out only to be hurtful, I ought to know better by now … yet somehow, I don’t.

    If the person you hurt is your friend, I’m sure she will understand that you never meant to hurt her. There are those who are careless and hurt others’ feelings without realising or worrying about it. But most of us do it unintentially every once in a while. I forgive easily if I can see that the person is genuinely sorry and meant no harm.
